If the Tigers don’t win tonight, even with the dramatic turnarounds that the Giants have authored in mind, I think we end up with another 2010, and the Giants end up going back to San Francisco for a parade. If you’re right and the Tigers do win tonight, we might just get treated to another seven-game series. And regardless of the outcome, that’d be lots of fun for both fanbases.

Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:27:22 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=249814#comment-389786I expect Fister to be good, so Bumgarner had better be, as well. Tigers need to win tonight or they are in big trouble. I think we’ll see a lot of Giants’ bullpen tonight. Expecting Tigers to bounce back in this one.

Thu, 25 Oct 2012 18:24:23 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=249814#comment-389780Listened to the game on the radio last night and the generally likeable Jon Sciambi would Not. Shut. Up. about the fact that Lincecum pitching might make him unavailable tonight should Bumgarner run into trouble. It’s as if it’s a forgone conclusion. “Not to second-guess Bruce Bochy, who seems to push all the right buttons…”

Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:38:49 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=249814#comment-389753According to the narratives, Bumgarner has to be good, doesn’t he?

Giants have momentum = good Bumgarner

Tigers need at least one more game to knock off the rust = good Bumgarner

Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:29:10 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=249814#comment-389744If Bumgarner has actually has gotten his house in order, then Bochy/Righetti >Leyland/Jones. If not, we’ve just heard a bunch of standard public relations nonsense from folks that can’t avoid way too many interviews. And if Bumgarner isn’t good, we’re going to see how good Bochy can manage his bullpen, and then it comes down to what the Giants do with Fister. After yesterday, I’m not worried. Let’s see what the Giants do when they’re (shockingly) ahead in a series. Cue more bizarre irony.

Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:25:37 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=249814#comment-389738The bullpen is rested…we have lots of arms to call in for relief and it is travel day before Game3. Mota, Casilla, Affeldt, Lopez and Romo can eat up 5 innings easily. You can also use Timmy for 1 inning if necessary.

Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:14:29 +0000http://hardballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=249814#comment-389727Seems odd that they used Lincecum last night with so much uncertainty about Bumgarner tonight. I know you have to win the game at hand, but the Giants are not short on good relievers. Seems like a weapon like Timmy might be best reserved for a night when they need length
